BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention herein relates to inhalation device, particularly to a dry herb burner (DHB). The current inhalation devices known for smoking dry herb substance use indirect heat method, which do not provide carbine smoke, therefore, failing to optimize the dry herb for its full spectrum cannabinols, The lack of direct torch flame to the herb hinders the release of all the beneficial chemical compounds present in the dry herb substance. The existing inhalation devices do not serve the purpose for those individuals who required dry herb substances for its medical purposes. They do not get the complete dosage out of dry herb substance due to the lack of direct flame, which prevents the complete release of all the beneficial cannabinols available in the dry herb substance.

The existing devices do not cater to the needs of individuals who wish to smoke dry herb substances and are unable to roll the dry herbs with tobacco leaves, rolling paper or other methods like a lighter and a bowl for their dry herb substance due to their physical inability to roll or handle the instruments for smoking. Some individuals are physically incapable or just outright do not like the current smoking methods.

The method to which many people use and have become accustomed to smoking dry herb is rolling it in tobacco leaves. This method is the best form of smoking as stated by them and due to old age or physical handicaps, they are unable to use this method forcing them to try the current devices that allows them to smoke without rolling. As a result of the indirect heat burning of current devices, many of these people are losing out on the full spectrum release of the cannabinols. The cost of tobacco leaves has also increased causing the cost of medication to increase substantially creating a need for a sustainable way to utilize dry herb in a fashion that is cost effective and easy to use even for the most extreme physically handicap person.

The inhalation device described hereinafter addresses these issues the current devices do not address.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Provided herein is an inhalation device for generating smoke from dry herbs. The smoke will be delivered to the mouthpiece for inhalation by a user. The DHB device can be handled in one hand without much effect to operate the device. The Inhalation device, more particularly the dry herb burner (DHB) is a complete system that combines a fuel source, a spark generating battery, a smoke filtration system, a heat chamber where the dry herb is stored in the dry herb bowl and a central PCB to regulate and function as the control brain of the device.

The Dry Herb Burner (DHB) as an inhalation device has been configured to extract all the beneficial chemical compounds present in the dry herbs. The Dry Herb Burner (DHB) in accordance with the current embodiment of the present invention shall provide a direct flame which will cause a full combustion of the dry herb substance.

In one aspect, the Dry Herb Burner (DHB) is an exemplary embodiment of the present invention which provides a highly effective device for users to get Complete dosage of the dry herb substance as the DHB provides the direct flame which break down the dry herb substance, allowing the release of all cannabinols that are proven to help alleviate the individual user's symptoms for which the day herb substance is being administered. For the individuals smoking the dry herb substance for a medical purpose, the use of the Dry Herb Burner (DHB) in its current embodiment of the present invention shall provide a direct flame for combustion, causing a full release of all cannabinols declared beneficial compounds for medical use. The Dry Herb Burner provide the functionality to adjust the temperature of the burner so that the user may set the temperature to get the desired amount of heat for the proper amount of herb in the bowl.

In further aspect, the Dry Herb Burner makes it easy to carry the device and dose properly per user need on the go. The Present invention provide a hand-held device which simplifies smoking dry herb substance with out the need to sit down and roll tobacco leaves or paper or find a safe place to sit away from the wind and use a lighter and a bowl.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, The Dry Herb Burner (DHB) utilizes hemp gas for fuel making it a safe fuel source for the device when it's implemented in the current invention where the battery power igniter provided the spark for the burner to create a torch flame in the heat chamber cause the herb to burn in the herb bowl and sending the smoke to travel up the smoke tunnel as a result of the suction of the filtration system dues providing a clean smoke for the user to inhale out the mouth piece. The smoke produced in the Dry Herb Burner (DHB) travel from the herb bowl into the filtration chambers linked with the smoke tunnel allowing a user to inhale a cleaner smoke from the device then the smoke they would normally consume as a result of not have our DHB.

The Dry Herb Burner (DEM) is distinguishable from existing inhalation devices currently available for consumer use. It produces a direct flame that is directed onto the dry herb substance in the herb bowl for a complete combustion burn to produce carbine smoke. The existing devices that can be associated with the DHB all provide an indirect heat source to the heat chamber to produce a smoke like vaper which is ineffective when it come to a special release of cannabinols.

Dry Herb Burner (DHB) comprises of a novel design that provides direct flame into the herb chamber to produce carbine smoke. The present invention is an advancement over existing inhalation devices, which employ the indirect heat source to produce vaper smoke. The carbine-less smoke produced by the existing devices is not as effective as the carbine smoke produced by the present invention. The user may require less heat to burn their dry herb or the amount of herb in the herb bowl is a small amount that do not need a full blast on the gas valve to create a high flame so the current invention has intergraded with an interface display that allows the user to adjust the heat level of the device to ensure that the herb in the bowl can be burned to produce the smoke the user requires from the Dry Herb Burner (DHB) without excess heat being generated. The carbine smoke from the device has been proven to provide a greater number of active cannabinols from the dry herb substance then existing devices.

Further, this method allows for a greater absorption of the active cannabinols for the user's body, but also provide consistent, standardized delivery and dosage of the beneficial chemical compounds present in all dry herbs. This is an advancement over the carbine-less smoke, as the user would require more carbine-less smoke to achieve the proper dosage to relieve symptoms being treated. The Dry Herb Burner's (DHB) alinement orientation of the gas and pump along with the gas line direction from the chamber into the bowl chamber allowing a direct torch flame to burn the dry herb is vastly unlike any other in the field of inhalation devices.

The first and second filtration chamber allows controlled flow of the smoke from the bowl into the filtration chamber and up the side walls to perfectly facilitate the amount of smoke being released by the DHB's sequence programmed to operate the device.
